It's rare to find a U.S. online retailer that will offer free shipping to a Canadian address. I have my eyes on a pair of boots. Does anyone know if the item will be dinged for duties and taxes if shipping from the states?

It will definitely get dinged for taxes. Duties will depend on where it is made. If not in USA, then yes there will be duty.

The good thing is that you know how much the total is (in USD, which will likely be more once currency exchange fee is factored in) so you can decide if the final price is acceptable to you before you submit the order.

Lands End will advise you of the total including tax + duty at checkout. No surprise charges on arrival. If you're looking at the same boots that my wife is ($249 Blakely!), duty is $27, total is $185 shipped to Alberta (GST only). I imagine they'll collect the appropriate PST/HST depending on what province you ship to.

Thanks OP for posting the deal and everyone else for the replies on the taxes/duties. I managed to order a pair of tan leather riding boots for $45 USD. Score!! I decided to have the boots shipped to my U.S. parcel centre instead of my Canadian address. Since the boots are less than $50 USD, I will take my chances with the customs officer at the border rather than paying the duty of $27 upfront.
